No, I didn’t received any emails at all.I just called the school. They say they are still sending shortlisting emails. The process is taking very long as there are too many applicants. (No domain specific)
Lol!! I see! Thanks for calling haha…guess will just wait and see
Both these domains auditions are on going. Suggest you call the school to confirm.
I see…ok should mean we are not shortlisted. Thanks!

Received rejection from DHS snail mail .
Maybe rejection sent out first -
No…all out already. Saw people post their CO
@ak0defiance Received snail mail from DHS. For info
How’s it? Seems like my postman hasn’t arrived
@ak0defiance said in DSA 2024:
same for performing arts.
nothing receive yet.
anyone knows if DHS email or snail mail the results?
Last few years was snail mail…did you go for a 2nd round of inteview too? Wonder if it is domain-specific

HiHi,
Nothing received so far. We are feeling nervous yet excited.
We wasn’t invited to the 2nd interview even. We don’t have high hopes.
I was thinking they could just reject me straight as we wasn’t invited to the 2nd round of interview.
A friend received DHS CO for track and field though. So i am guessing that different domain send out email at different timing.
Another friend is also waiting for DSA leadership and choir.
I will update asa I received anything, ya.
Which domain are you waiting for? If its track and field the results should already been out.
Have friends already got RI CO and DHS Track and VS Music WL infor.
Thanks alot!! I also dont know what to make of this second round of interview actually.
We are waiting for Performing Arts
Once DHS responds, we can sit down with our kiddo to discus

@Dingdong29 DHS is well known for sending outcomes very late. In past years, the results were received via snail mail on the deadline itself.
Yea!! I read that from prev years too…but the second round of interview was a surprise to us. Wonder if thats the norm as it wasn’t stated on their website

Hi everyone,
Congrats to everyone who received The CO/WL.
May I checked if anyone received any emails from DHS?
My son’s classmate said he received DHS CO for track and field.
Does different domains send out email at different timing?
We wasn’t offered to go for 2nd round in AUG for interview. We only did 1st round of selection. Could that means that we have lower chances for CO/WL?
Thank you.
I am still waiting for DHS outcome. Have you received?
Did you go for a round 2 of interview? Wonder if is the norm

@Dingdong29 I see. U mean the number of vacancies for both S1 posting and DSA vacancies. Are u very sure? Was it declared by the Principals during open house 2024? Afaik for 12 years ago (every Dragon year) the schools will have some leeway to increase vacancies just for that batch.
This is what I understand from the recent ST article.
‘ Even though the 2024 P6 pupils were born in the Dragon Year, MOE added that “the current admission quotas will apply regardless of the size of the cohort”
Can we be ever very sure? But IF I remember correctly, this is also something SOTA implied during parent engagement session. Then From my own experience, my child’s primary school also kept to their yearly quota during her dragon year.

this is what I gathered from the article:
2024 16000/41000=39%
2023 14500/38100=38%Guess the problem is in term of % it’s about there but because of cohort size remaining the same, the % of rejection will be higher.
Probably trying to do some damage control given that the rejections and offers will come in by this week. Today there is another article on parents managing expectations.
Huh? What do u mean by the cohort size remaining the same? Look at the denominator of the fraction. Dragon year 2024 has 41000-38100=2900 more kids compared to non-Dragon year 2023.
Looking at percentage-wise, seems like only 1% increase in percentage share of applicants. Thanks bbbay for the numbers.
I meant the cohort intake for the sec schools and non-MOE dsa schools. They are not increasing their intake because the schools do not have the facilities to.
